Recruiter - Sales-Minded & Relationship-Driven

At Northwestern Mutual, recruiting is not an administrative function — it’s a growth engine. We’re looking for a relationship-driven, motivated Recruiter to help build the future of our San Francisco office by identifying, attracting, and selecting top talent.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys connecting with people, working toward clear goals, and seeing the direct impact of their effort.

• Actively source and attract candidates through referrals, networking, social media, advertising, events, and community partnerships
• Build strong referral pipelines with internal team members, Centers of Influence (COIs), and professional organizations
• Represent the Northwestern Mutual brand at community events, career fairs, and networking opportunities
• Collaborate with other recruiters across the firm to share best practices and candidate leads

• Lead candidates through the full recruiting process — from initial outreach to selection
• Conduct initial interviews and assess candidates for culture fit, drive, and long-term potential
• Clearly communicate expectations, next steps, and timelines to candidates
• Create a professional, engaging, and high-touch candidate experience

• Track recruiting activity, progress, and outcomes using Northwestern Mutual systems
• Maintain accurate candidate records and pipelines
• Prepare and share weekly recruiting results with leadership
• Continuously refine sourcing and outreach strategies to improve results

• Strong communication skills (verbal and written)
• Comfortable working toward goals and performance metrics
• Highly organized with strong follow-through
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word and Excel
• Backgrounds that do well in this role include sales, customer-facing roles, hospitality, coaching, or relationship-driven environments
